§ MR. S. EVANSI desire to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Select Committee which he undertook on Tuesday should be appointed to inquire into the comparative incidence of taxation in Ireland and Scotland will also be empowered to inquire into such incidence in Wales, so as to have a complete comparison of the incidence of taxation in the four countries which constitute the United Kingdom?
§ MR. GOSCHENI do not propose to refer any questions to the Committee as to Wales separately from the rest of the Kingdom.
§ MR. S. EVANSMay I ask whether there are any reasons why Wales should not be treated separately?
§ MR. GOSCHENWales has never been treated in that manner. But if Wales were, for fiscal purposes, treated as not being a part of England, I should think that Welshmen would very much regret it.
